It’s been quite the journey for 1VERSE, the rising K-pop group that spent the better half of 2025 promoting their debut single album, The 1st Verse, grabbing hearts along the way! They’re now ready to give their die-hard fans a new taste of music to get them through the beginning of 2026 with their latest single, “WABIF (Wide Awake Before I Fall).”

The new track, written by members Kenny and Nathan, captures the spirit of 1VERSE perfectly while continuing to let their listeners into their vulnerable sound space, crafting the perfect blend of hopefulness and apathy while tackling what forms in between the chaos, while still opting to move forward.

Alongside the release of their new single, 1VERSE has also released a sun-kissed visualizer featuring active members Seok, Nathan, Kenny, and Aito (get better soon Hyuk), managing to bring the themes of “WABIF” to life beautifully while keeping the group in a shadow of mystery and wonder.

Following the release of “WABIF,” 1VERSE will be heading out on the 2026 SHATTERED TOUR, the group’s first fan-picked world tour, kicking off on January 28 in Seattle. Tickets for these shows are still available, with further ticketing information being found on their official community page.
